In September 2012, the renowned Italian shipyard Azimut announced they had begun construction on a 38.2-meter vessel named Grande Trideck, the shipyard’s largest undertaking. Since then, despite the chaotic year we’ve all had, they’ve been hard at work on this incredible yacht, and today we have word that it’s nearly finished.

A few months from now, Azimut Yachts will deliver its first three-deck yacht, and this seems like the ideal means to forget about the year 2020. Grande Trideck also seeks to demonstrate the brand’s ability to take things to the next level in terms of design and style, as well as construction.

Alberto Mancini, an Italian yacht designer, was responsible for this yacht’s extraordinary exterior design, which features dynamic and graceful lines that incorporate the exhausts and fairleads.

This three-deck vessel’s most distinctive feature is its raised aft cockpit, which generates a series of new exterior spaces strategically placed around the boat. Among them are a central gangway that leads directly to the aft raised deck, a sea-view terrace or beach club, and a private patio where passengers will likely enjoy unwinding.

The beautiful beach club has full-height ceilings, and the upper deck contains a large, full-beam social area. The sun veranda surrounding the forward bar and the custom spa surrounded by sun pads would be ideal for solitary relaxation or spending time with friends and family.

I am confident that everyone onboard will appreciate the garage space, which is large enough to house a tender and several water toys. This yacht has everything!

On the interior, another renowned Italian designer, Achille Salvagni, utilized his imagination and talent to create a flexible and informal layout that is ideal for entertaining. The private patio on the main deck may be our favorite place, as it is the ideal spot for those seeking seclusion.

Grande Trideck has five cabins, with a spacious owner’s suite on the main deck and four guest staterooms located midship. On request, a sixth cabin can also be added to the upper deck.

Packing one of two engine options rated at 2400 or 2600 HP, Azimut’s new Trideck yacht could reach a top speed of 23 or 24 knots, an impressive feat for a yacht of its size.

This was possible thanks to a lightweight superstructure that was laminated in carbon fiber, with vinyl ester and epoxy resin added to the mix, while the D2P® hull helped reduce consumption and improve efficiency. We can’t wait to see this beauty in action!
